Cyber Essentials
The Government’s Cyber Essentials certification is a pragmatic set of security standards that any organisation of any size can obtain, in order to confirm their commitment to cyber security.
In the non-profit sector, it is increasingly seen as the go-to cyber security requirement from funders, local authorities and grant givers.
